This little moment is actually kind of adorable (a little headcanon maybe)

“Love you, too, Iago." 

I adore Jasmine’s relationship with Iago in this episode. In fact you really get to see her develop more with a lot of the more minor characters in the group. 

I think Iago actually likes spending time with her, and this is something that stuck even in that horrid Disney Princess spinoff thing that came years later. It’s not just that she has more money or anything like that. He genuinely seems to prefer her company over Aladdin’s at times. She doesn’t make fun of him when some of his more foppish tendencies come out, and they’ve actually had time to bond, separate from everyone else. (I will cover "Do the Rat Thing” soon, promise!) 

Part of this is because I think Jasmine already really likes birds (she’s pictured more often with birds than any other Disney princess and she’s not one of the ones that can summon and command legions of them by singing) and that just works out in Iago’s favor. Iago has also displayed more than once that selfish and materialistic though he is, he also seems to really get her, and vice versa. 

So when he says he’s shopping with her because the boys are shopping for sugared dates, she knows that’s just a cover and he doesn’t want her to think he’s too attached or anything, but he so is. 

These two are bffs. 

Jasmine how much more obvious does it need to be that he’s lying to you?

Jasmine is made deliberately unintelligent in this movie so far. Not only does she seem to think Aladdin bought that jeweled flower for her (with what money, Jasmine? WHY DON’T YOU EVER SEEM TO KNOW WHAT MONEY IS?), but a lie she would have seen through in about a millisecond in the first movie is totally legit for her here:

Come on, even the monkey knows he’s full of shit. Look at this totally vacant expression she has. And Aladdin isn’t even trying as hard to look not guilty, look at the facial acrobatics he goes through:

Jasmine you are looking right at him how can you not tell he’s lying through his teeth. I know you’ve only had one boyfriend but this is ridiculous. You were smarter in the last movie. What happened to you?
